The Modern Day Pirates

I adore being scared. Not the “ew-blood-and-gore-and-oh-god-are-those-brains-I-can-see-pouring-out” kind of scared, but the “tiptoeing through the dark woods and hearing a noise you can’t identify and holy-crap-maybe-it’s-a-killer-or-a-werewolf-or-a-sparkly-vampire” kind of scared. But alas, I am now in a relationship with someone who is pretty ho-hum when it comes to scary movies, so I don’t really get a [...]

Bachelorette and bachelor parties in general make me roll my eyes. In recent years, they’ve gotten so stereotyped and out-of-control elaborate that they can often take away from the actual wedding itself – in my opinion, events such as weekend-long trips to Vegas involving strippers and booze (and penis-shaped paraphernalia for girls) just don’t seem necessary to celebrate the upcoming happiest day in two people’s lives.

When the original idea of going to Awesome 80′s Prom for my best friend’s bachelorette party was suggested, I am the first to admit that I was not 100% on board with it. Billed as an off-Broadway show, I did some research on their website and quickly learned it was not your typical “theater” production by any means – this was more of an interactive production where members of a fictional high school (characters such as the class nerd, the head cheerleader, and the “bad boy”) roamed around a club that was set-up like a high school prom, campaigning for student votes for prom king and queen. Not being a big fan of clubs/bars in general, and not totally sure exactly how an interactive club would work, I wasn’t too sure how the night would pan out.

I am addicted to the Internet Movie Database. Whenever I watch something, I end up going to IMDB to learn the actors’ names, what they’ve been in,trivia about the production, and other details that are useful for pub quizzes, but not much else.

Last October I decided that going to the gym is boring. Well, I thought this all along but still went on a semi-weekly basis because it was the right thing to do. Although I never minded the actual exercise, I really hated the monotony of the programs. So when Nintendo announced last fall that it [...]

One of his shirts was missing three black buttons and another was missing one clear button. I needed a total of four buttons and some black thread, because I was all out.

The personalized mouse ears. The Mickey-shaped ice cream. Meeting Mickey, Minnie and all their friends for the first time.  Everyone remembers some element of their first trip to Disney World, even if their first trip was when they were only 3 or 4 years old.  However a lot of people are of the opinion that [...]

I cannot fathom being without vision correction for any length of time in which I am not sleeping. My glasses are the first thing I put on in the morning and the last thing I take off at night.
